Gabon !
Gabon is situated on the west coast of Africa and is bordered on the north by Cameroon, on the east and south by the Congo and the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the northwest by Equatorial Guinea.
Rising from the coastal lowlands is a band more than 60 miles wide forming a rocky escarpment. Rivers descending from the interior have carved deep channels in the face of the escarpment. The northern coastline is deeply indented with bays, estuaries and deltas as far south as the mouth of the Ogowe River, forming excellent natural shelters. Further south, the coast becomes more precipitous, with coastal areas bordered by lagoons and mangrove swamps.
